A Knitting Life 3 – Tokyo Tversted
The book A KNITTING LIFE 3 – TOKYO TVERSTED is the third volume in a series of three, in which Marianne Isager talks about her life with knitting over five decades.
Marianne writes in the foreword for the book:
“For my Confirmation my Uncle Niels gifted me two beautiful Japanese wood cuts. This present awoke my interest in Japanese art and later, when Japanese fashion designers entered the Western fashion world, my curiosity for this fascinating country grew. In 2001 I met my husband, Nels, who at that time lived and worked in Tokyo; this was the beginning of 15 years of commuting between Japan and Denmark but also the beginning of many enriching experiences.
My knitting is always inspired by the things going on around me, experiences from daily life and from travels. My long stays in Japan became an important source of inspiration. This book is about my life in Japan and what inspired me on this journey.”
